However license of floatflt.sty has been changed, thus it is no longer in ubuntu or tex-live.
Here's a quick guide to reenable it.
Problem:
LaTeX Error: File `floatflt.sty' not found
Solution (to be run as root ):
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/floatflt
cd /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/floatflt
sudo rm -f floatflt.* float*.tex
sudo wget http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/floatflt/floatflt.ins
sudo wget http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/floatflt/floatflt.dtx
sudo latex floatflt.ins
sudo texhash /usr/share/texmf-texlive
Source of suggestion with discussion wether to use backport ........

ReplyDeleteplease do not mess with the system wide texmf. Either put the file in your ~/.texmf or in the folder next to the .tex document in which you want to use it.
